Heartstopper
If, like me, the only thing that keeps you sane when returning to your hometown for the holidays is reminders that the world is bigger than the smallest town that ever existed, you might find Heartstopper to be just what you need. Three seasons of delightfully saccharine queer teen drama, this mostly low-stakes, breezy show has a lot of great young talent you’ve probably seen in things like Agatha All Along and The Wild Robot. It’s just a really sweet watch that I go back to every now and then like comfort food. Season 3 gets into some heavier subject matter, though. Like any high school love story, don’t expect it to stay sweet forever. — Kenneth Shepard
